Eustress and Distress
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Eustress is stress appraised as challenging and manageable; distress is stress appraised as threatening and beyond one's resources.
Show
The same competition produces eustress in a prepared athlete and distress in an unprepared one.
Watch for
The physiological response is largely shared. Appraisal is what separates the two.
